Clutch - Lorelei lyrics

There’s no wisdom I may give
Only my apologies if an answer you must have
There is a cave by the sea
You'll find there a Methuselah
As wind-swept as the trees
Should you approach him there
I advise you do so gingerly

Lorelei, trouble my water
Oh, I throw myself over rapture of song
Lorelei, sweet mooncusser
Oh, my compass is spinning and
I’m so far from home

There was a time of innocence
He knew nothing of the sea
Landlocked in all directions
Riding elephants to victory
But when the war, at last, was over
To the circus, the beast went
So he walked until the land’s end
And he’s been there ever since

Lorelei, trouble my water
Oh, I throw myself over rapture of song
Lorelei, sweet mooncusser
Oh, my compass is spinning and
I’m so far from home

Lorelei, trouble my water
Oh, I throw myself over rapture of song
Lorelei, sweet mooncusser
Oh, my compass is spinning and
I’m so far from home
